I did Film & TV in uni. One of the things they told me as a newbie was "keep three physical copies, two in your home and one in a different location"
So I keep three physical copies, all in my home, cause none of my friends wanted to keep my external hard-drive clearly labeled "high-res dick pics"
EDIT: Nah, but seriously, before you consider online storage, do physical. SSD if you can, they last longer.
Huh I was under the impression that SSDs don’t last as long as hard discs.
I think they need electricity to prevent bitrot? There are advanced methods of storing parity data to recover but idk how
A stashed SSD isn't physical: it's an on-prem digital copy. Printed sheets would be 'physical'.
Comma splice, by the way.
If you can hold it, it's physical. Just like my relationship with your mom, nerd.
Haha jk lol
